Simpulopsis rufovirens is a species of tropical air-breathing land snail, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusc in the family Simpulopsidae.

The specific name rufovirens refers to the coloration of this species. The name is composed from the Latin word "rufus", which means red or reddish, and from Latin word "virens", which means green.
